Hi, I’m Stephanie, the Clinical Director and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Innerpeace Therapy in Upland, California. I am currently accepting new adult clients (CA only) online Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings!
Over the last seven years I have worked in community based services, residential services and private practice providing care to victims of domestic violence, refugee children and families, and trauma survivors of all ages in their most vulnerable time of need through using a trauma informed cognitive behavioral approach to treatment. Using a trauma informed approach means I meet you where you are with the understanding that your lived intersectional experiences have shaped how you navigate your present day.
In session I work with you to develop goals and a treatment plan individualized for your current needs. Over the course of treatment through meeting once a week, we work toward your goals through skill building, challenging and reframing thoughts and self reflecting. As you meet your goals, we slowly decrease services toward termination so that you can maintain progress on your own reinforcing learned skills, reframing thoughts and new perspectives for the journey ahead.
Whether this is your first time seeking support or a follow up for new growth, know that your experiences have brought you here to challenge and let go of what no longer serves you.
In my free time, I mentor psychology undergraduates, hold consultation groups for follow licensees and I engage in self care through attending fitness studio classes, tending to my house plants, reading suspense thrillers and traveling with my family.
